How can natural selection affect a predator-prey relationship in an ecosystem? choose all answers that are correct. a. natural selection only acts on select generations of predator and prey populations. b. natural selection can act on both the predator and prey populations. c. over time populations stay the same even when another population changes. d. nature selects for traits that allow for them to survive and reproduce at a greater rate than those without these traits.

Next pretest: evolution select the correct answer in a laboratory population of flies, the female flies are gray and the males are yellowish gray. biologists observed that all the male flies had an equal chance for reproduction, but the male flies with the brightest colors were more likely to successfully reproduce. what phenomenon could explain such a change? a sexual selection b. disruptive selection c. stabilizing selection d. directional selection

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.
